“Whoever sent them didn’t send weak guys,” Tom grumbles.
“They know one of us is pregnant.”I breathe out.The darkness is suffocating.“They said to be careful with the women because one of us is pregnant.”
“I told Peter you’re pregnant, flower.”
“Are you?”Tom’s voice is a little brisk.
“No, I’m not, but it made sense, especially if the child is Finn’s.”My cheeks are heated.
“Good thinking,” Tom says.
“But my father would know by now too, and who knows how many other people.”Finn’s tone is sharp.“Which means it could be Peter or another faction that wants to get back at my father.”
“So we’re captured and have no idea by who or for what?”I ask.
No one answers.
“Last time, I was invited into a car and left in a luxury suite with three meals a day.”I blow out a wistful sigh.“You think that will happen this time?”
“One could hope.”Dante rests his head on my shoulder to touch me.
I shiver at the chill in the air, but Dante and Finn are in their boxers.So is Tom.Natasha and I are in pajamas.I don’t know where they’re taking us, but it can’t be good.
Chapter38
Stealing Assets on Hand
Drew
It’s the middle of the night and I’m staring up at the ceiling.Things are shifting so fast.I never imagined I’d have someone to love.But with that comes keeping her safe.And that’s not easy in the current situation.
Not with her there and me here.Though she’s safe there with the others.But when we get back to the city, we can’t be together every minute of every day.Not even the guys can do that and they work with Sara.I doubt she’ll accept a bodyguard.Although, maybe she will after being kidnapped by Peter Sokolov.
Our hotel door chimes like someone just unlocked it.I sit up and glance over at Wyatt passed out in his bed.Maybe it was another room down the hallway.I hate hotels like this.Hearing people’s footsteps and voices in the middle of the night always creeps me out.
The door flings open, breaking the lock on the side of the door, and men in black storm in.Wyatt sits up alert.
“We have your friends, and if you come along nicely, we’ll even put you with them.”The guy sounds cocky.He doesn’t have a gun pointed at our face though.
“How do we know you have them?”I need proof or I’m calling bullshit.There are five guys standing in our room, but I don’t know how many more are in the hallway.
Five guys.Maybe Wyatt and I can take them.There’s furniture that can be used as weapons.
The guy pulls out a phone and presses on something before turning the screen our way.It’s a night vision camera in what looks like the back of a cargo van.Sara sits between Dante and Finn who only have on boxers.Tom and Natasha sit opposite them.
“Good enough?”the guy asks.
Wyatt nods.No one looks harmed, though Tom, Dante, and Finn have their arms behind their backs.
“Give us a minute to collect our things and we’ll come willingly.”Wyatt waits for the person who talked to us to acknowledge him.
“Sure, get your stuff.But no funny business.”The guy doesn’t move from his spot in front of our beds.
Both Wyatt and I move slowly so they don’t worry we’re trying to get the jump on them.We get out of the beds and pull on our jeans and shirts, then stuff our computers and phones into the bags along with anything else we had out for the night.
When we’re finished, we nod to the guy in charge and he leads us out.There are a few more men in the hallway securing the area.Some people duck into their rooms as we walk past.
Once we’re in the parking lot, Wyatt pulls out his keys.
